What Happened To The Weekend?

Ok is it just me or does the weekend feel like the fastest 2 days of the week?!  We travel a lot on the weekends or have events/parties etc. if we are in town so it is rare to be in town and have no plans.  Often times we can go months before we have a free weekend to just get stuff done!

This weekend was one of those weekends we had free and to say we squeezed all we could into 2 days would be an understatement! 

It started with me doing some personal pampering (that's what the hubs calls it) or what I like to call maintenance.  I hit up the nail place and got my gel manicure done. 


Before...


And After....Soo much better!!



I then headed over to Natural Body Spa in Brookhaven to see my fav gal Sally and get a much needed microderm facial and some waxing done.  If you've never had a microderm facial before you need to make an appointment and go at once!



On my way back to the house I swung by my TJ Maxx.  I am newly obssesed with the TJ Maxx by our house!  They have the best stuff and of course I've already figured out when they get their weekly shipments in so I had to run by and see what they had.  Strike up the band because the Lilly fairy had just visited :)  I scored this dress that I was obssesed with last year for $69.99 (regular price $298) and they had my Lilly Wink Perfume for $14....SCORE!



I then ran home to do some much needed cleaning and to do our laundry.  Ok something is wrong with the hubs and I because on average I do 4 loads of laundry a week!  What in the world?  The hubs blames it on our workouts but I blame it on us only wearing something once and then throwing it in the dirty clothes hamper.  In any event being faced wtih a mountain of laundry isn't fun!



After knocking out the laundry the hubs and I headed out to test drive cars.  I need a new car in the worst way but we have been putting it off!  We have narrowed it down to two options. 

My choice is the Lexus




The Hubs prefers the Acura



Anyone care to be the tie breaker?  :) 


After that I headed to the grocery store and I'm not sure how picking up a few things turns into my shopping cart looking like I'm buying groceries for a family of four but whatevs!


 


I rounded out the weekend working on our house.  The hubs and I finally agreed on flooring options, yay!  I found some good wall art options for our entryway and upstairs hallway.  And finally I am getting new counter stools and have narrowed down my fabric choices to four options.  Any thoughts? 


 

I ended the weekend snuggled up with Mae and watching movies!  Frankly I'm exhausted and for some reason so is Mae, Mae :)

The Truth, The Whole Truth and Nothing But The Truth

I don't really want to write this post.  I want to crawl in my bed, with the covers over my head and watch the real housewives of nyc seasons 1 and 2 (before Jill and Bethenny hate each other).  I don't want to talk to anyone, see anyone or answer my phone.  In fact it's been on silent for the past three days.   I am writing this post because I started this blog as a living, breathing diary.  It is a fluid documentation of my life and what is going on right now.  Unfortunately what is going on right now isn't a fun trip, a great product recommendation or a great style entry... it is real life.   This week something sad happened to me and the hubs, we had a miscarriage.  I will tell you that I hate the word miscarriage it seems clinical to me.  What I have said is we lost the baby because that is how it feels to me.   Without boring you or scaring you with too many details I knew something wasn't exactly right.  I started bleeding and was away from home and my

I'm Jealous Of My Husband

I have to be honest I almost didn't publish this post.  This is a real and raw post.  I finally hit publish because I figured I couldn't be the only one feeling this way. I will tell you I didn't know I was jealous of Matt at first.  I knew I was angry, resentful, overwhelmed and afraid.  As a wife and mother the to do list seems never ending.  Whether you work or not being a mother is one of the hardest jobs, if not the hardest job on the planet.   Matt and I are blessed to both have fulfilling careers and therefore we have someone who helps us 5 days a week.   For a long time I felt bad for being a working mother.  I've made my peace with that.  I am now thankful instead of guilty.  It was a long road but I'm in a good place with it.  I'm not saying that from time to time I don't wrestle with working and being mother but on the whole I am comfortable with my choice.   So when these feelings started creeping up I thought it was working mother's gu

A Sad Season

I have to tell you that these past few months and perhaps this year have been hard and yes sad.  My mother told me when we were talking about it that I was experiencing "a sad season" and I have to agree. Now this doesn't mean that everything has been awful, sad and terrible.  I haven't been in bed for weeks at a time with the covers over my head watching trash tv.  Instead I feel like it has been one of those times were the hits just keep on coming.  The bad news just keeps rolling in like ocean waves.  It has been a time of tremendous loss and sadness.  The events that have occurred aren't the same but it felt like every time I would get my ahead above water something else would happen.   It has been difficult because there are happy times mixed in to all of the sad.  In those times of happiness I have genuinely tried to be in the moment but my heart wasn't in the right place.  My heart has not felt happy and there has been an undercurrent of sadness tha
